Who Wins

Pre-6, Sylas outduels you in extended trades because his E gap-close and W sustain let him survive your all-in and fight back effectively; your level 2 all-in (E+Q) is your best window before he has W online, but Blitzcrank's Q threat forces you to respect positioning constantly.
Post-6, your R gives you a reliable engage tool that Blitzcrank cannot match in teamfight lockdown, but Sylas can steal your R and use it against your team, so you must be selective about when you commit.

Your pattern is to E onto Sylas (not Blitzcrank, who wants you close for his E knockup), apply Q stun, and let Ziggs land W or Q during the lockdown window — the combo only works if Ziggs is pre-positioned to follow immediately.
Avoid extended trades where Sylas heals through your damage; your value is burst lockdown, not sustained pressure.

You have no wave control tools, so let Ziggs manage the wave and focus on vision control and positioning to threaten engages — pushing the wave yourself wastes your presence.
Slow-push or freeze setups by Ziggs benefit you more than a shoved wave, as they force the enemy to step up into your engage range.

Do not blindly E into Blitzcrank's Q range thinking your tankiness protects you — his Q into E knockup into Sylas follow-up will kill you before your stun matters.
Engaging without Ziggs in follow-up range is a wasted cooldown that gives the enemy a free window to trade back.
